Bethel Redding Sermon of the Week

God is continually inviting us to come up higher. It's time to survey our inheritance from His perspective: every enemy has been both defeated and humiliated and put under the feet of the redeemed! We reign in life through Christ Jesus which means that nothing can come against us that we don't already have authority over because of His victory on the cross!

Though He is the rewarder of those who seek Him, God does not want us to be possessed by the reward. He wants us to be anchored in His Presence! Let the one thing that we desire and seek be the very Presence of the Lord. This will be known as the hour of extraordinary visitation and breakthrough!

We live in a time of unprecedented change and opportunity. The time is ripe for revival and reformation! As we understand more and more who we are and the time in which we live, the more we know what to do to promote the King and His Kingdom.

In every moment, God is doing something and the enemy is trying to do something. It's our responsibility to learn how to recognize what He is doing and seek first His kingdom! It's when we look for what God is already doing that we begin to see how we can be obedient to His promises.

Jesus loved, taught, and empowered women throughout his ministry on earth. He encouraged them to demonstrate the feminine side of God: passion! When He died, the curse over women was broken. He's alive and women are free!

Arise and shine for your light has come! The Lord is summoning you to live out of a heavenly reality. When you see the harvest from His perspective, you can't help but be radiant!

Heaven is crying out for the return of sons and daughters! Orphaned hearts are crying out for family and connection! As spiritual mothers and fathers to the lonely and isolated, we have the privilege of loving God's lost children back into their destinies. Key words/Scriptures: Luke 15, Deuteronomy 21, prodigal son, orphan, family, fathers, mothers, home,

Revelation means to lift the veil and gives us insight into what belongs to us so that with faith we can explore what God has given to us. The more we walk in revelation, the more we understand the joyful expectation of the good things God has promised us. God is summoning us to discover the revelations and experiences that He has for us. Key Words/Scriptures: revelation, hope, promises, 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 1:17, John 3

In order for us to advance the Kingdom, we must operate in the spirit of wisdom which has the ability to create, do things with excellence, and take something that is useless and make it useful. When wisdom partners with revelation it searches for the solution and confronts the problem. We need to know who we are, know God's wisdom, and complete the tasks that we are given with His wisdom. Key words/Scripture: wisdom, revelation, excellence, Colossians 1:27, Proverbs 8:22, Exodus 31-39, Zachariah 1:18-21, Ephesians 3:10

The value we have for the Kingdom is reflected in how we honor the least and people that can't give anything in return. We are to keep our minds full of the things of God and deal with negative mindsets and attitudes. The way that we think has a positive or a negative affect on the atmospheres around us. It is important to recognize the value of an individual before they are saved or deserve it and to see them as God sees them. Key Words/Key Scriptures: Honor, Children, Matthew 18:10-11

Anticipation is positioning yourself for what might happen because all things are possible for him who believes. How close we are to miracle breakthrough! Let's lean into the possibilities before us with great expectation and great faith. Key words/scriptures: resurrection, breakthrough, witness, John 19: 31, John 20:1, John 20:14, John 20:30
